Following on from the massive runaway success of Age Of Sigmar, but acknowledging that people didn't like the lack of balance in the AoS force structure, Warhammer 40000: Age of Chaos will do away with points and have players build armies of any 100 models.

Kirasu: Have we fallen so far that we are excited that GW is giving us the opportunity to spend 58$ for JUST the rules? Surprised it's not "Dataslate: Assault Phase"

With the HH boardgame, their black friday discounts, the new starter boxes and their planned entry-level kits GW's been on a winning streak of good ideas for a while now.

It's about time for their yearly dumb move.

It's now year 40,100, the universe as we know it has been destroyed in a great upheaval and only scattered remains of previous races exist in 8 different realms, each ruled over by their own resurrected god.. Also points costs and FOC are removed.

OR

GW is revamping it's stores by transforming the whole retail system into 100 outdoor kiosks. The form factor is considered to be more friendly towards their core audience. In addition to miniatures, ice cream will also be served, to further improve serving the core audience's needs and also to underline the 'flavour of the month' concept.

'Murica! (again)

Plastic Sisters would be awesome and the pics use 40K & AoS but I honestly don't know what this is or if the pics used on FB even mean anything. All I know is in at least the US The GW store managers had their quarterly meeting earlier this week, return and now this. Maybe if there's a trusty GW manager you know you can get him to spill the beans. Of course, if he's trusty then he wouldn't be telling you at all

It has to be something to do with chaos surely? They are the only thing AOS and 40K have in common.... Hope they don't mess around with AOS too much as I'm enjoying both playing it and reading the background fluff.... But I suppose 40K fluff does need some advancing. The emperor can't sit on his throne forever doing nothing, someone needs to pull the chair out from under him... :-)

The AoS art goes against it being 40k particular.

Perhaps in 100 days there's a 100 day web sale. Or we have £100 collection boxes as additions to the Start Collecting sets.

I think this is going to be some kind of sale. Here's why:

1) Teaser pictures are from 40k and AoS, so it's not a release for either game. Maybe a very, very slight chance for a dual game release like Chaos Demons, but I very much doubt it.

2) The GW100 seems to denote 100 of something GW already has. What do they have 100 of? Products, customers, and days.

3) This will only happen once. This implies it's something that has never happened yet. What has GW said over and over that they've never done? Had a sale. Given sales last year, what would GW entertain to boost numbers? A sale.

There are three ways I see this playing out based in the three things I said GW had 100 of earlier:

100 Products: GW's 100 "Best Selling" products go on sale for a limited time. Very small chance these products get a permanent price drop to be a "core" 100 products designed to get new people into the game.

100 Customers: GW runs some kind of promotion or contest that has 100 winners. These people would forever be known as the "GW 100".

100 Days: GW has a sale that lasts 100 days. I think this is the least likely to pan out. 100 days is a long time for any retailer to run a sale, much less one that hates doing so as much as GW.

Of these three scenarios, I think the 100 product scenario is the most likely. It isn't game specific and it isn't something GW has ever done and probably will ever do again.
